mircea_popescu: (obviously i was using a metaphore, i don't actually do the watching as such.)
mircea_popescu: luserdom had no business touching computer at any sense. it's as dead today as it was in 1818.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if a preoccupation with the self becomes an escapist technique to deal with frustration borne of lack of experience.
mircea_popescu: how is it, that they'll go to all the trouble but only just as long as it's not doing anything useful ?
phf: yeah, we settled on a pragmatic "sort it as ASCII", which works for me, but i need to think about it some more, and at least do a write up on the subject. i mean, ascii has some funny properties, like some symbols come before numbers, some after numbers, and yet some more after letters, e.g. the ordering of 1A+~? is +1A?~
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787317 << дневник as typed with jcuken but on a qwerty layout. it's an old derogatory runet term for diary writing, but in this case it's the default category i use that i forgot to change ☝︎
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and I'm glad ave1 asked this actually, as it strikes me as a point where a reader would hurry in to "optimise" the code potentially
phf: hanbot: note that http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-vpatch/#selection-147.0-192.0 i'm going to fix it by wednesday, but if you can give me an unsigned rough draft of a keccak mp-wp.vpatch before then, i'll be able to use it as a test ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-05 18:24 phf: the release have been branched, and you press to two different heads if you want a sha or keccak version, but specifically for hanbot's purposes, sha vdiff is available, with the "no newline" issue fixed, as per http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-keccak/#selection-95.221-99.40
hanbot: as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786971 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other tales from the cave of noir, "big combo" is almost just as nonsensical as "his kind of woman". the sheer pile of nonsense in these things, jesus christ. NOTHING works.
mircea_popescu has been quite enjoying the whole "scandal" whereby "it was really facebook (dobulespoken as "rogue" "market research" firm) thatr
asciilifeform: entirely like-so. which is why asciilifeform for instance approaches every diseased kid who finds his way in here, as potentially-treatable patient
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-24#1789555 << i dun think anyone even suggested that the kid was a tard. he suffers from specific infectious disease, if you will, as formulated in, say, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788946 , i.e. the disease of extrinsic motivation , 'what's the minimal sweat i need to grab the brass ring' ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: but so far on the instant case, as to 1. "the internet is right there, it's your responsibility to find your way out of the pantsuit paper bag" -- well he's found the republic ; and as to 2. "make something of yourself, son"... too soon to tell yet, isn't it.
diana_coman: that "correct" reaction sounds correct only for all sorts of definitions of "working mind"; dunno, working but un-reflecting; working but not worked; working blindly or something of this sort; to me it reads: "when in a broken environment, the correct reaction is to break yourself too as much as possible"; perhaps it is, along the lines of: one can hardly do anything else in that situation anyway so might as well extract the short-term app
lobbes: as promised, my own compendium of mp-wp notes: http://lobbesblog.com/blog/2018/03/mein-kompendium-mp-wp/
asciilifeform: aalmost may as well live in jp neh
danielpbarron: ya imma have to switch him to a -1, he's been just as annoying in the lrh chat
lobbes: Btw jhvh1 isn't related to deedbot (and, as far as I know, is not on a box with any coin contained within)
trinque: nah, not on something served up as content-type text
trinque: oh lol, I'm already serving them up as txt.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-23 04:52 mircea_popescu: we'll have to come to a unified set of something here in any case. as it stands right now it's not obvious whether one can or can't point shitfox at random republican website ; nor where to look to find out.
mircea_popescu: we'll have to come to a unified set of something here in any case. as it stands right now it's not obvious whether one can or can't point shitfox at random republican website ; nor where to look to find out. ☟︎
trinque: at any rate I'm not questioning you to make you not diddle the XML holes. in your log reading you might've heard me refer to servers as outdoor toilets.
mircea_popescu: about as fair game as it gets ; part and parcel of history by now.
douchebag: It will take as much time as it takes me
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's quite likely enuff coin just in trb hotwallets, to buy a flotilla. and if you can get to it, it's as yours as your own nose, nobody could do a thing about it. so wtf are you doing fucking with php.
trinque: douchebag: the web as it is ought to burn; the notion that there are any professionals tending the shit adobe is hysterical.
trinque: long as you clear it first, I'll come visit
BingoBoingo: lobbes: It's a hazard of pantsuit education. Fellow can get loaded up with training as a technician while being sideloaded with broken priors
mircea_popescu: as a subplot, why would a large company require a large codebase ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you do this thing as a kid, where you'd go about the parked cars in the street after leaving school to see "asta cit prinde ?!?!" ie, "how fast does this one go ???"
asciilifeform: douchebag: you speak of 'program written to high standard' as if it were a concrete item that you have actually seen or touched
asciilifeform: and so, without any ill will to douchebag , i would put the likelihood that he had learned from something worth learning from, as somewhere near 0
asciilifeform: as discussed, re e.g. trb.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Anyone who uses scanners such as acunetix or whatever that is called is not a professional.
mircea_popescu: yet magic doesn't work in the working sense of the verb to work, as found in hospitals as opposed to magic shaman nigger hut.
mircea_popescu: and the only folk to whom the difference is immaterial are our stone age friends from the cargo-cult, cave dwellers as they find themselves.
mircea_popescu: the situation is approximately the same as of a "young aspiring gold prospector" who goes to the designated ROOM in his local community center, where he spits on some pebbles / digs through the plasticine cubes.
mircea_popescu: it is sold to ignorant youths on the basis that "hey, SOMETIMES it yields results, when applied randomly to the web". that may be, as Framedragger 's ssh tests or phuctor dredged up, everything, every last bit of nonsense can be found "on the web".
a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 16:02 mircea_popescu: the unsustainable, unacceptable etc systematically misrepresented to them as socially acceptable, the necessary, correct etc equally systematically misrepresented as socially unacceptable... it's true that this is grade A child abuse, but then again it's also true the children so abused carry on the sad smoldering stumps of what's left of their lives
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how will anyone eat all the ram, apache runs as nobody anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've not yet managed to properly speaking hose a modern box (hosed as in, root can't log in to fix it)
asciilifeform: as for example fg discards whitening
douchebag: Good, I'm glad someone is on the same page as me.
ben_vulpes: douchebag: until you wrap your head around what goes on here, you're going to be fighting this negative impression where you insist that you're smart and educated etc, just...not in any topics that anyone here cares about eg trb as a basis for murdering the megastate and all barnacles like ecommerce/ssl/securitycircus hanging off the side
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788650 << this is also interesting. note however it's misstated. whether you know better or not what to do with your time is not generally touched ; but you sure as fuck don't know better what NOT to do with your time, which is time and again the crux of the matter. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: douchebag: see dude this is why i can't take you seriously, you have zero context for what's going on here and yet you insist on strutting around as though you matter
mircea_popescu: douchebag no, actually : we are explicit about the [little] we feel good about ourselves. the "alternative" such as it misrepresents itself, is very successfully implicit about how [grandiosely] it feels good about itself. but somehow you don't go up to some clueless dork pretending to run a "security business" and be "your boss" and ask him whence he feels that insanely overstretchedkly good about himself. for SOME reason.
asciilifeform: douchebag you trained as a technician and the tubes you trained on are on their way out. sad (for you) but true. consider learning something else.
mircea_popescu: it's interesting to me, honestly. i expect from his pow we appear as half insane half irresponsible, and the question of where's the hole the day comes in through quite poignant.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 21:29 mircea_popescu: meditation upon http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787343 yields the interesting result that problem spaces are not continuous. problem spaces are discrete, and there exists such a thing as problem spans.
ben_vulpes: your own research targets in which case you're a man and can make your own decisions or you need orders and will be told what to do. picking your own targets is an act of *creativity*, which i muchly doubt i'll see much of from a metasploit crank-puller. as it stands i don't really expect you to do anything but it's a low bar and a single task to show me wrong.
mircea_popescu: the unsustainable, unacceptable etc systematically misrepresented to them as socially acceptable, the necessary, correct etc equally systematically misrepresented as socially unacceptable... it's true that this is grade A child abuse, but then again it's also true the children so abused carry on the sad smoldering stumps of what's left of their lives ☟︎
diana_coman: I can't help but read that as "I'm not too sure if my focus on finding rats in take-aways would even be relevant to your actual cooking"
diana_coman: douchebag, your problem still seems to have as root the approach "towards purpose" instead of from causes; try and digest that post
diana_coman: douchebag, learning something is never a waste of time; and learning what you "are not good at" is quite doubly NOT a waste of time; "outcome" as you currently define it doesn't enter into it at all; and for that matter: http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/
mircea_popescu: i'm saying that your notion of helping is so constructed so as to preclude helping, yes.
douchebag: No, I constantly put effort towards learning more and improving my skills as well as my self.
douchebag: Alright, I still haven't written a V implementation. I would like to help, however programming is not my main area of expertise. I feel like writing a V implementation would not waste my time, but yours as well considering d
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "no resolve" sounds like a side effect of the DNS settings allowing NFS to do its thing not pointing at an NFS doing its thing as advertised
hanbot: it's not even the shitpay hook or the nonsupport in themselves, abhorrent as they are. it's their marriage, wtf is "maybe not reallybut" doing in a yes/no switch.
asciilifeform: i suspect stupidity (and re how long d00d's been in biz -- senility) as explanation. shitpay offered hook, nfsco -- bit
mircea_popescu: idiots biologically unfit to the world as it presented itself 1mya, that's how far this "security and respect" paradigm sunk us.
BingoBoingo: Now the determination to refer to the discoverer as a child is related to his doing interesting things without a WoT presence, not because the fellow says he is 15
asciilifeform: btw for anybody who hasn't grasped yet, n can have as many prime factors as you want. (e.g. P(phuctorade-set) say)
asciilifeform: needless to say cheng's 4p-1 is getting added to phuctor as soon as it stands back up.
asciilifeform: i like how asciilifeform doesn't have to elaborate, mircea_popescu instantly grasped the boojum. almost as good as telepathy!11
mircea_popescu: in fact and rather transparently, the whole "secret curve" pseudocryptography is a direct result of all the nsa time spent chasing those a and b (no b doesn't HAVE TO BE 2, just as long as you know how you round it can also be a real)
mircea_popescu: now, if xmlrpc.php had a whitelist, something as simple as a htaccess deny from all allow from x, this whole idiocy would go away.
mircea_popescu: as a result, trilema answers xmlrpc.php calls to the tune of ten a second every second, every day of every week of ever year. there's many many millions each month, no exception to date.
mircea_popescu: this advantage is however massively moderated by the sheer lunatic imbecility of english speakers, whereby i do not think it has happened yet that five people actually linked to an article on trilema without prior arrangement, such as their having a wot presence etc. there's one exception that comes to mind, some dood running a "dark underground" or w/e blog. this OVER TEN YEARS nigh on.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788357 << it is 'broken' like this : you don't get a box (or even virtual box) with a particular ip, on nfs co, but rather a thing reminiscent of crapflare (but built ~20yrs prior) where the dns resolves as ip x for some loads, ip y for others, etc. so as to spread the ddosolade around. ( somewhat surprisingly, it actually worx -- eats multi-GB without coughing ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 13:28 ave1: Turns out that the pingback fix in mp-wp, will reject self-pings as the ip address does not match (backend code runs on different server than front end site)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788321 << yaya okok, he didn't do it and wasn't even there. ml is a terrifyingly horrible medium, as it turns out. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788314 << no but see, the way i understand it, the whole appeal of the entire usg.robocar concept is that it removes human agency wrt traffic oucomes. if this illusion is not sustainable "why bother" as per usg.logic. discussing the event in terms of characteristics of the victim, ESPECIALLY in that "suicide" direction, cements defeat in this logic. ☝︎
ave1: Turns out that the pingback fix in mp-wp, will reject self-pings as the ip address does not match (backend code runs on different server than front end site) ☟︎
asciilifeform: right, same simple hand tool to read as to write.
mircea_popescu: is there some way to find out if they were diddled first ? if we're paying a coupla grand for usg to diddle our fgs, might as well get a blog post out of it.
mircea_popescu: as it stands i dun really know what's a concern
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i figure now i'm gonna have to test these things again or what. what'd you say is nsa standard for fg tests minigame'd have to do for nsa to certify its fg installation as satisfactory ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-26 17:38 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes now getting back to this deal of ours. 0.345773172 for a year of box as detailed ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-24#1785941 ) + 0.014 for one month of rack + ??? for a pair fgs
mircea_popescu: there really should be no printing as such in anywhere.
trinque: dunno why you're printing what ought to be returned as a datastructure.
mircea_popescu: so i idly ran diff on the double indemnity source as compared to what i published. the original is 193082 bytes. my version is 193976 bytes. the diff file is 395838 bytes.
mircea_popescu: first, they buy o'brien's book on revolution ; then they get room 101 ie http://trilema.com/2015/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/#selection-155.0-155.34 ; thjen they get released so they can meet some chick and go "i betrayed you" as if it's normalcy now ; and hang about and act as if they were people a little bit. and by the time everyone at chestnut cafe believes the philosophical zombie is actually what people are... well..
asciilifeform: subj best known as a provocateur/stoolie, rather than 'top' anyffing else, tho
a111: Logged on 2018-03-11 15:10 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other lulz, other than trying to push bitcoin crash as an implicit alternative, bitpay finally dropped bitcoin payments in favour of some nonsense "payment protocol" they developed in-house.
seen_Xemist: Wrong handle for Uncle Al. He showed up as Xemist, same as disqus.
asciilifeform: the other nitpick, as i understand 'mensa' was (is?) moar of an opium den, place where folx would sit around playing games, than a political action thing
lobbes: "Contrary to medical opinion, a patent absolutely sloshed on morphine and diazepine tranquilizers can indeed work up sufficient rage to vociferously complain, bellow actually, about the sound and feeling of cancellous bone being crushed inside his skull as a bored nurse thrashes a lead-weighted truncheon about the insides his sinuses. She knew there was an exit to my throat back there somewhere, it was in the anatomy books. If she could not find it
asciilifeform pulls a 80G ( circa 2001 ) out of the depths of the depths -- and - as expected - no 'smart'
diana_coman: trinque, sounds good; and I'm certainly interested in a recipe for transitioning a classical gentoo as well since I can quite see I'll need it anyway
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as he says, they're not actually useful other than symbolically. but symbolically AND HOW
mircea_popescu: "anyone taking hardware to Spaceship Montevideo must conceal as much of it in servers as possible" << - >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1782043 and all that, yes ? i thought this was amply discussed in february. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-14 04:50 mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'm such a fan of crescent wrenches i actually keep them around as art objects / use them idly while walking around the house as sceptres, gesture with them and so forth.

mircea_popescu: spyked nice find. this'd not be in mp-wp by default, as it's eminently a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-01#1786583 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i'd even dare to rule out the 'shown the instruments' hypothesis, given as their crypto per se was a joke from day1. but asciilifeform was interested in re the voice codec. turns out -- open problem, to this day. )
